This weekend, I was talking with one of my best buddies about her wardrobe, and I was like really deep in fantasy land imagining a work wardrobe, and then she was like - but I want to look good on the weekends too! And…I don’t know why this was such an aha moment for me, but weekend dressing is such a thing, but I’ve always thought of it like, ok it’s the weekend, you can just give up. But who wants to give up!
At the same time, who wants to roll up to the park in heels? Or be fussing around with something complicated at lunch or at the farmer’s market? Certainly not I! I want to look cool and comfortable and ready! for! anything!
All of the tricky styling and fantasy I do is so fun, but really, I think most of us just need to figure out how to look pretty good, pretty much all of the time. And that can’t include hours of prep and tailoring and anything that would prevent you from doing a cartwheel, sitting on the floor, or running down the block - if you end up needing to do that. That’s weekend stuff, especially when you have kids (meanwhile, if you want more about life with kids, here’s my mom newsletter…).
Anyway, here’s what to wear on the weekend. (Also here’s the lipbalm I was awkwardly holding in the video - it is excellent.)
